Re: [Pharo-project] New IDE alternative (was Misc. newbie questions)
Dennis, your screenshots are awesome, hope remains for a direct manipulation framework such as Morphic to beet lesser and boring standard UI WIDGETS frameworks. And by the way, Morphic isnt ours..it comes from a groundbreaking object-focused environment called SELF. Fernando On Wed, Jan 18, 2012 at 11:00 AM, Igor Stasenko <siguctua@gmail.com> wrote:

I have limited rights to be heard here because I have been a part of the Squeak/Pharo community for a long time. I have less rights than others because I haven't contributed anything of consequence. Others who have been here far less time but have contributed a lot more, have greater rights.
I don't think there should be any "rights" related to level of contribution. But it is true, you are much likely will be heard and your ideas taken into account, if you will show others your dedication. And of course a simplest way of showing it is to contribute :)
Just my opinions. But I think that they are reasonably founded. I spend a lot more time with people than programming.

Thank you for the reminder and the screen shot of a self screen. A recent implementation of Morphic using only HTML 5 canvas and JavaScript by Jens Mönig is here http://chirp.scratchr.org/dl/experimental/JsMorphic/morphic.html and the documentation is here http://chirp.scratchr.org/dl/experimental/JsMorphic/morphic.txt (21 - Feb - 2012) The code (MIT license) is very readable http://chirp.scratchr.org/dl/experimental/JsMorphic/morphic.js Morphic was developed in connection with the programming language 'Self'. The Wikipedia article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self_(programming_language) says that self is an _extreme_ dialect of Smalltalk. "Self was designed mostly by David Ungar and Randall Smith in 1986 while working at Xerox PARC. Their objective was to push forward the state of the art in object-oriented programming language research, once Smalltalk-80 was released by the labs and began to be taken seriously by the industry." --Hannes
